Humming - Electric Ranges
Possible Solutions
Is the Cooktop Lock feature on?
Even when the cooktop is not in use, the cooktop may create a low-level hum that may be noticed in very quiet environments. This noise is a normal function of the cooktop due to the Cooktop Lock feature. To reduce the volume of the hum, activate the Cooktop Lock feature when the cooktop is not in use.
To deactivate the Cooktop Lock:
Touch the lock key for 3 seconds. The indicator light will turn off, and one long tone will sound.
To activate the Cooktop Lock:
